EXPERTS SPEAK The topics related to

classification in general and animal
classification are less described in NCERT
and have moderate importance in AIPMT,
however, their importance is elevated in
regional PMT's. Inspite of the fact that
these are less described in NCERT, their
importance for application based questions
cannot be neglected, i.e. it is advisable to
go through each and every line of NCERT
for revision purposes. Each of these lines is
the summary of a major description
regarding the individuals.Out of first 16
days the topics of day 4 to 8 are more
important as compared to rest these, but
topics form the firm basis for other major
sections. So during these days use random
testing to filter out your weakness
repeatedly and it is suggestive not to move
further until you are not confident about
these chapters. As most of the part of first
16 days serves as the basis for gripping the
subject, thus it is advisable not to move on

EXPERTS SPEAK This particular

segment is of considerable importance.
Cytology serves as the basis for the
study of plants as well animals. Grip
this particular unit with the help of
randomised testing as it is the key to
study other connected topics like
histology, anatomy, physiology and
genetics. Direct solo questions from
this portion are of lesser occurrence
now-a-days, however, mixed type
questions of cytogenetics are more
frequent. Secondary growth in anatomy
along with the structures and functions
of conducting tissues are of greater
importance as compared to the other
portions of this unit. Try to grip this
portion with the help of flow charts
and diagrams. Photosynthesis of plant
physiology is the most important topic
among all the topics of plant
physiology. The key to capture this
chapter along with cellular respiration
is to amalgamate their flow charts
with organic chemistry and repetitive
readings of the flow charts.
Morphology of plants is of moderate
importance in most of the PMTs
now-a-days. In regional exams like
JIPMER, AMU more questions from
this portion are expected.
However, this portion is also very
important for the basics understanding
of anatomy and physiology. Among
animals tissues most of the direct
questions are asked upon destination
of various type of epithelia. Among the
connective tissues blood and bone
require special attention. After NEET
2013 the morphology of earthworm and
cockroach gained more importance and
you may find direct questions from
these two. Flow charts and diagrams
both play crucial role in revisions of
morphologies of plants as well as
animals. For topics underlined above
learning with direct solved examples
will be beneficial.

these portions can be asked as fillers.

Evolution is important as its scope is
very mast. It begins from the origin of
earth and reaches up to human
evolution. Most of the people questions
from these chapters are of generalised
type with involvement of application as
well. Now-a-days direct question from
this unit are mostly discarded, instead in
serve direct applied questions with self
approach are given importance. As
mutation and genes serve as the basis of
evolution from both the unit are of
frequent occurrence. Begin this complete
section everyday with randomized check
through random test to analyses your
points of emphasis for your preparation.

EXPERTS SPEAK It is one of the most

important segments of your study from
PMTs point of view. On an average
about 20% questions in any PMT are
from this segment. In genetics the
Molecular basis of more inheritance
(including mutations) & genetic
disorders are of more role value as
compared to Mendelian genetics
portion. Direct questions are usually
asked from this portion only. The
Mendelian genetics and other portions
like multiple alleles, sex determinations
sex linked inheritance, crossing over,
linkage and cytoplasmic inheritance,
etc., however play a vital role in
developing the foundation regarding
genetics. However, questions from

EXPERTS SPEAK Animal anatomy and

physiology is a portion of moderate
value but it has a different role also for
medical aspirant. Chapters of this
portion play a vital role in the studies of
Medical College too. So here, one must
take these chapters as the foundation
for its 1st semester in Medical College.
You may found direct as well as indirect
(applied) both type of questions from
this portion. All the topics in this portion
have almost equal importance,
however, we must consider neural and
chemical coordination with certain
edge. The last topic of this unit, i.e.
reproduction is very vast in itself.It is
suggestive to capture the reproduction
of plants and animals simultaneously.
Use random testing for topics till Day
56th for self-analysis and use planned
tests in two section, i.e.
(a) Day 1st to 36rd (b) Day 37th to 56th
for proper assessment and to gain
confidence.

EXPERTS SPEAK This last segment

of your study requires maximum effort
as it contains all the portions of
highest importance and current
relevance. Most of the questions in
various examinations are asked from
these chapters and are of applied
type. All of these have connectivity
with your previous portions too, e.g.
biotechnology requires proper touch
of molecular genetics, likewise
ecology has genetics, morphology,
anatomy etc., in its basis.
Try to complete the schedule of last
20 days in 17 days (approx) as some
loose days (days with lesser syllabus)
are given in between. In the last 3
days use randomized testing of
complete syllabus to filter your
weaker portion and utilise these days
to plug your weak points left.
For gaining the confidence after
wards use 2 3 simulator papers of
full syllabus and try to complete them
approximately 15 min before the
stipulated time, so, that you can
achieve the same under examination
conditions of stress within the
stipulated time.
